As a resident along a major (in this area anyway) 4 lane highway, I can extend a small allowance for anyone who needs to make a left somewhere in the near future, but it's almost never that.

Some people think that whatever speed they want to drive should be how everyone else drives. When that speed is 65+ it's generally not an issue in the left lane. However, when they think that 5+ the speed limit in a 40 mph zone and all the sudden become a gatekeeper complaining about the guy riding their bumper when they literally just did the same thing to the dude doing 40 mph half a mile down the road, I get annoyed.

My advice to my wife and my son as he starts driving has always been, stay out of the passing lane unless you're passing. If you aren't gunning it to get passed whoever is in the right lane (or as mentioned earlier, turning etc) you really don't have any reason to be in the left lane.

My Heaven includes highways where everyone just drives the same speed in the right lane and the left lane is empty.
